4. Samuel L. Jackson – Rambling M*therf*cking Monologues
Speaking of making a career out of unnecessary shouting…
Samuel L. Jackson is widely known for his proclivity for using a particular term involving the loving of mothers, but he has another cinematic quirk that he indulges far too often.
That, dearest film fans, is incessant monologuing.
Think about it: the iconic scene in Pulp Fiction, the unforgettable moment in Deep Blue Sea (which was almost a much, much longer monologue, apparently), the “enough is enough” speech from Snakes on a Plane, his weird, explosive temper in Unbreakable, or his inspirational take on the importance of education in Coach Carter – all are examples of the actor’s talent for rambling monologues (many of which contain a few “m*therf*ckers” for good measure).
In fact, it’s hard to think about Jackson without picturing a nice long speech where he does that intense eye thing and calls someone… well, you know.
